PATHFINDER
Time-Warner has a one-stop shopping site (and the shopping part could become increasingly true) with a link to all its magazines -- Time, People and Fortune.

GET WIRED
Way back in the mists of time Internet-wise, Wired was the bible -- but then it got a little tired, and finally got sold to Conde Nast. The online stuff was bought by Lycos.

CONTENT-IOUS
A relatively new media-watch mag is Brill's Content, which has a single feature from the print version of the magazine, and some other links. It was started by Steven Brill, who founded Lawyer's Weekly.
When it comes to regular magazines, there's Time, which has been on the Web for quite some time, and Newsweek -- which only got a Web site going recently. However, Newsweek's site has some interesting features, including a link to Encyclopedia Britannica information about various things. Business Week also has a site, which for the most part is pretty ho-hum, and The Economist has one too -- at both of them you get some current stories for free, but for the whole enchilada you have to pay a monthly fee, or in The Economist's case you can pay by the article for some things. There's also the Harvard Business Review, and for those who just can't get enough business-related stuff, there's Industry Week.
On the literary side you can find The Atlantic Monthly, which has been on the Web since 1993 and features audio recordings of poetry readings and other cool stuff. Another excellent print publication that has an online version is Granta, which specializes in long-form features and literary pieces. The Utne Reader, which collects articles from the independent press and other places, has a related site called The Utne Lens that has some articles and an associated discussion area called Cafe Utne. It's not really literature (despite what journalists would like to think), but there are some good journalism sites as well, including The Online Journalism Review, the Columbia Journalism Review and the American Journalism Review's Newslink. Julian Sher, a producer with the CBC, has compiled a great group of pages with resources for investigative journalists, and it is here.
This is a collection of the existing magazines that have related Internet sites -- some of which are simply a couple of selected articles from the current issues, some with extensive online-only features, some with searchable archives. If you have any suggestions, comments or additions to make, please e-mail me.
When it comes to Internet-related magazines, there's obviously Wired -- which helped start it all. Then there's CMP Media, which publishes a bunch of computer and Net-related magazines, such as Internet Week, the well-respected Byte and Windows magazine. Mecklermedia -- which recently sold its magazine division -- publishes such titles as Internet World, and publishing giant Ziff-Davis does mags such as PC Magazine, PC Computing, PC Week, Inter@active Week, Computer Life, Family PC, Yahoo Internet Life and Internet Computing. Why doesn't Ziff-Davis have a site or publish something called Internet Magazine? Because a British publisher already does. There's another good British Web mag called .net. If it's stock plays and insider financial stuff you're after, a couple of the best are Upside and Red Herring. Incidentally, Canada has a couple of good mags that deal with Net stuff from time to time -- one is known as Shift and the other is something called Eye.net.
